Hot Dogs are just the scraps of meat that couldn't be used anywhere else. They are not a delicacy. Putting ketchup on ground up hog lips and anuses infused with bug parts is not a bad thing..

YEP. I say it proud now. It's what I ate as a kid. I stil like PB&Js and a bowl of Cap'n Crunch occasionally. Tired of being looked down on brutha.I put mustard and kraut on bratwurst, I put anything in the fridge on hotdogs.

Anyways... Loves me a good hotdog thread.

shiat. All out of popcorn... what to do, what to do?

I'm in agreement. Ketchup is great on hot dogs. I like mustard (real mustard, not radioactive yellow stuff), but it is always best on a good sausage.

Love a dirty water dog!! Papaya's was really good, as was Walter's...still, backyard grill still wins. I like mine with ketcup and american cheese (I know, I know) or chili (Carolina-style) and slaw. It's not a pretty sight...

List fails as long as Nathan's exist. It took me two days to get the taste out of my mouth. Very few brands of hotdogs have been banned in my house and Nathan's is on the list. I am not picky for I will eat Koegel's, Ballpark, Oscar Meyer and some generics. I have turned down a free Nathan's hotdog.

Hot dogs, when made correctly, are not made from "lips and anuses" at all. They are made from the meat of bulls, not cows. The tougher meat of bulls is ideal for fine grinding, which is the distinctive characteristic of hot dogs.

Oh, and as usual. the New York version of food is overrated, as are their versions of pizza, bagels, and women. Better versions of all three are to be found in Chicago. And better versions of two are to be found in Los Angeles,

My wife and I had the pleasure of visiting NYC for the first time in March. We were really looking forward to the dogs... Tried Gray's Papaya - it was farking vile. Street dogs were better. Hell, COSTCO dogs are better.

Can someone explain to me what's so special about hot dogs in New York? I've never been there, but it seems like one of those things New Yorkers brag about...just like people from Phillie are all ooooo, our cheese steak rocks, etc etc.

I am from New York,live San diego now for 26 years .Back in the '80'smy uncle had a hot dog stand he parked in front of a furniture store inclairmont mesa. I would hang with him and shoot the shet. One day thisJapanese couple show up with the biggest friggin brat i have ever seen..Well there off to the back,Uncle Joe is asking the spoiled brat"So youwant mustard on that ya little bastard.".he didn't seem fazed being calleda little bastard

Been all through California and have yet to find a hot dog that even comes close to the delicacy of one I had in Boston as a kid. The bun was a piece of grilled bread, the hot dog was thick and partially cut into pieces to insure each portion got grilled. I only asked for onions and mustard, a habit I keep to this day... since no real hot dog should require more.Of course I still remember the name:

NYC has the bagels, Boston the women, and RI the pizza (seriously, go to Federal Hill).

I remember going to Florida and having the hardest time finding "Natural Casing" dogs. I finally found them at some Walmart but they were freezer packed. I quickly moved back to New England. Yes,,, It was that important.

I went to New York excited to have some of these famous hot dogs. They really just weren't that good. Chicago dogs are head and shoulders above. Seriously, I can't imagine a hot dog better then at Hot Doug's. NYC pizza is better though.

Buffalo's Sahlen's hot dogs beats any NYC or Chicago dog. Do not boil or simmer the weiner. Do not cook it on a metal grill....Charcoal or briquettes only please. Mustard,relish,onion. Sometimes kraut. And a soft white bread roll. Not seeded roll, or crusty.

In fact, the hot dog cart at the end of Drottningatan near the Parliament building in Stockholm, has the best hot dogs on the planet. The hot dogs are good and about 2 feet long. For 25 kroner (about 4 bucks) you get two of those dogs and a can of Coke....very inexpensive for Stockholm. And the vendor speaks better English than the New Yorker w his overrated Nathans

And, the Bacon Bite hot dogs in Oslo area 7-Elevens are out of this world. Expensive, but they are wrapped with a huge slab of BACON. Awesome
